    Iptables chains and tables traversal

    Can forward NFS traffic fine, except from Proxmox and its VMs

    Hello. I have a NAS directly connected to my Proxmox machine, which forwards all NFS traffic via iptables to the NAS (I can't directly connect the NAS per our system policy). I can connect to the NFS share from every other machine on our network but not from ProxMox or the VMs running on it...

    How to enable loopback (hairpin) NAT so that a container can reach another container via PVE public IP?

    Preface Hi together, this thread is highly connected to the issue I explained here: Connected issue I think it has the same root cause but since I got no answer there I tried to narrow down the problem, reframe it. So now I have a different symptom that is based on a more "common" scenario, that...

    Use PVE node's external IP address to reach service of a internal network via DNAT

    Hi everybody, I am struggeling with a problem where I did not figure out yet if it is a "basic" networking problem or something that has to do with my SDN configuration. The setup is the following: I have two VEs (192.168.2.10 and .11) coupled as a cluster. Within this cluster there is an...

    This is my current network setup on host one (vm01). I have a public network available over vmbr0 and a private network connected to a nic over vmbr1 (used for cluster traffic and VM private network via a vlan). Now I want to NAT the vlan onto vmbr0 so that the vms can have limited internet...

    *duplicate* Iptables NAT not working for vmbr with a bridged port

    I have the current setup, which after two days of trying should be correct. I can't get the iptables nat config to redirect traffic from either my vlan or the interface vmbr1 at all. At this point I can't see any other option... auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface enp2s0f0 inet manual iface...

    PVEFW NFLOG with custom rules

    Hi, I have created my own LOG chains for specific rules added for each guest. My first question is how can I log in separate log file like PVEFW does per guest? Currently all logs go into the Node's firewall log. Second question is, how can I format the log output to be similar to PVEFW? At...

    Guest iptables rules

    I`m trying to add some custom iptables rules (like connlimit) for guest machines. Example rule is: -A tap101i0-IN -p tcp -m connlimit --connlimit-above 30 --connlimit-mask 32 --connlimit-saddr -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset As seen tap101i0 is the vm 101 adapter. The rule has no effect, I...

    I'm having a really hard time trying to add and keep some custom iptables rules. Reading across several threads, iptables-persistent came to light. With that being said I have installed it with apt-get install -y iptables-persistent and all the rules got saved into the corresponding files...

    IPTables rules per guest VM

    Hi, After checking quite a few articles found here and on some other websites, it's still not clear for me how one can add custom IPTables rules for each VM. Checking the current host with just one VM at the moment I can see: -A tap100i0-IN -p udp -m udp --sport 67 --dport 68 -j ACCEPT -A...

    VM routing traffic from LAN to VPS via Wireguard is slow

    UBUNTU-VM acts as a router to route traffic over wireguard (UBUNTU-VM is within a proxmox VE). NAS is an old WD EX2, which is not on wireguard, traffic from it passes through the proxmox UBUNTU-VM. The problem is that bandwidth from NAS going outside to VPS is very slow, only 300KB/s (transfer...
